CMF - Buds 2 Plus

The nothing ear has absolutely terrible ANC. As a bonus, it amplifies high frequencies such as cutlery and keys clattering, and for some reasons also amplifies cars passing by. All of this in high mode. On a busy street, you're probably better off turning of ANC and just relying in the passive isolation. Transparency mode is also worse than talking with them on with ANC off. Also of it's windy where you live you might as well turn ANC off as it has zero wind detection. Everything else from app to controls iäand sound quality is excellent though. Weirdest past is, cmf buds pro 2/plus both have vastly improved ANC.

I personally I think cmf 2pro have better sound than plus

Look into the CMF Buds 2 Plus. Superior to the pro 2. I have them and the sound quality is great for the price. Only complaint is the in ear detection mode sucks with pausing and playback

I have Space Travel, they are pretty amazing for their $20 price tag. If you can, try and get CMF Ear Buds 2 by Nothing. They are really good for the value!

I suggest checking out Picky's Spreadsheets, linked in his comments section. You have to go through a checkout process, but it's pay what you want etc. Out of all the reviewers with the Exception of El Jeffe, The buds I own when compared to his findings are very similar. [https://youtu.be/-nWkcwUi394?si=Hnd1VMy4PAl77QnZ](https://youtu.be/-nWkcwUi394?si=Hnd1VMy4PAl77QnZ) To Qualify, I'm a daily airpods pro 2/ One Plus Pro 3, Earfun Air Pro 4 guy. I own a lot of other buds I think i'm up to about 70 or 80 pair total. :-S including the Bose QC and the only time I use them is when i'm on road trips with my 8 year olds. I Own and have Owned, Sennheisers, Technics, Nural, Denon, B&W, HK, M&D etc and I just will no longer buy earbuds over $120 with the exception of a few. Granted, I own an Iphone, so LDAC and other loseless codecs are out of the picture for me. The One Plus 4's launch tomorrow and if they are even close to the 3's they are going to Cook as an all arounder. My immediate Rec. is the Earfun Air Pro 4, SoundPeats AirPro5 or the CFM 3 Plus. All solid offerings in the $70 range, for under $300, you can get all 3 ;-) I had the Technics AZ80 and 100 from wha I remember I really like the 100's sound but there were features about them that drove me nuts and I returned them. I'd suggest just pointing your wallet toward amazon and buying several pair and testing out what you like, Return what you don't, but there is very little reason in my mind to spend airpod money when the tech coming out of china is now almost identical. You could also check out this blast from the Past. The MW07 Plus, super cheap now. And they sound really nice.

I just picked up the new CMF Buds 2 Plus that were released in May on Amazon. They are made by the Nothing Tech company and use the Nothing app. I’m very impressed with their clarity and impressive bass using a 12 mm driver. Definitely worth checking out for $69… https://us.nothing.tech/products/cmf-buds-2-plus

I've got 15 pairs of earbuds and out of all of them I definitely prefer the CMF Buds 2 Plus because the bass is a lot heavier than all the others. I've got the Sony wf-1000xm4, Soundcore Liberty 4 pro, EarFun Air Pro 4, Technics eah-az80w, SoundPEATS Capsule3 Pro+, Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro and a bunch other Soundcore and Samsung earbuds but the CMF Buds 2 Plus are my go-to. I don't know if you have Amazon, but right now they are on sale for $69, which is a really good price. Apparently the CMF Buds Pro 2, which are a level below the Plus version, have great bass too and they are on sale for only $59. So you can't beat that price either. I personally haven't tried the CMF Buds Pro 2 yet, so I can't say for sure that the bass is just as good as the Plus model. I think I'll grab a pair just to compare them since the price is really good. But yeah, you definitely can't go wrong with the CMF Buds 2 Plus. I prefer foam ear tips because I feel like they create a better seal in my ear, which helps keep noise out and enhances the bass. I would grab a set of them too if I were you. Makes a big difference.

I recently purchased CMF buds 2 plus for 16k. So far good. Great battery life. Unique design. Good ANC.

although not buds 2 pro but I just received buds 2 plus and the latency is incredibly bad. About 350-450ms based on my own measurement

Never really tried the high end before, the most expensive pair I've ever owned are galaxy buds 2. I've tried a couple of budget buds too, Space Travel, Tanchjim Mino, CMF plus 2, and a free oneplus nord 2r. Honestly sounds wise they are all decent to good in their own way. The more expensive one usually seems to have better battery life, anc, and other fluff features that I didn't use. I'm pretty satisfied that I didn't seek out to try those higher priced buds.

Notable options: 1. CMF Buds 2 Plus (Best Overall) 2. Soundpeats Capsule 3 Pro Plus (Best Sounding) 3. Oneplus Buds 4 (Top Contender) 4. Soundcore Liberty 4 NC (Best ANC, Mic)

I am personally using CMF Buds 2 Plus, they provide great value, do not have first hand experience with the remaining, however they are the best options you have in this price range as per reviews and popularity.

I have both. With my iPhone the airpod pros were amazing.Now that I'm on a Nothing phone, the airpods case chimes every time I pick it up, so I bought the buds 2 plus to try them out. I'm really enjoying them so far

I'd say the noise cancelling on the airpod pros is better, but the buds 2 plus aren't too far behind. I think the sound of the buds 2 plus is better, as is the mic quality. I don't know how they'll hold up in the long run, but I'd be hard pressed to buy airpods again after this

Yea. As I said, I don't know how they'll hold up in the long run but they're a nice pair of buds for very little money. If you already have a nothing phone, then it's really a no brainer.

I buy a good number of $50.00 earbuds. I have liked the Sony c510, Jlab Jbuds anc 3, and Earfun Air 2. These are all great. I have really liked the Earfun that I picked up last week. The Cmf buds 2 or buds 2 plus are good too. I saw the Jlab Jbuds Air Pro is 35.00 on amazon this week.

Heard earfun 4 pro was good, i use cmf buds plus 2 tho they are a little cheaper but nonetheless good

Honestly i would get the cmf buds 2 plus cheaper than these ones goes for 60$ but they are better in battery,sound,Anc, and the app is simple and clean that comes with it. I currently use cmf buds2 plus that's why i recommend them

I love the cmf buds 2 plus

I'll mention the cmf buds 2 plus cause I figure they have to be similar to the nothing ears. I got them a few months ago and am thoroughly impressed by the bass. I bought them for that reason and because they're good for phone calls.

Put Raycon in the search bar and while reading, congratulate yourself on the lucky escape you've just had. In terms of what to buy, as you'll notice in this and other posts, there are lots of good options out there each with their own particular strengths and weaknesses depending on what's important to you, what you're planning to use them for, etc. Earfun Air Pro 4 are popular, as are OnePlus Buds 3. I just tested [CMF Buds 2 Plus and Realme Buds Air 7 Pro](https://youtu.be/DP-BTga0lHA) - they are also capable all-rounders.

I went with the CMF Buds 2 Plus as I have the Nord 2 buds and their bulky design is just not suitable for my ears!

As good as airpods pro 2? Im trying the nothing ear (a) and cmf buds 2 plus right now. They sound and fit great. The transparency is trash though.

Anyone have a comparison between the CMF buds 2 plus and these? I’m loving the $69.99 cmf’s but have now had my curiosity piqued.

So I bought the CMF Buds 2 Plus, assuming their claim of great ANC would be true but calling them underwhelming would be an understatement. I need some earbuds which cost around 100$/€ and their ANC & Transparency Mode is similar to Airpods Pro 2 My priority is ANC & Transparency mode The ones I found about are 1. Soundcore Liberty 4 NC 2. Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro 3. Soundcore Liberty 5 Also found some good reviews about 1. HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 4 ANC 2. EarFun Air Pro 4 Which one is the best that comes code to the Airpods or suggest a better one

For context, I had the oppo enco air 3 pro, bought it just as it released 2years back, now looking to buy an upgrade because its battery life has drained.(only lasts about an hour with ANC) These are my requirements 1. Best for music* (since I would only be using it for music) 2. LDAC support* 4. Minimum 2 hours solid battery life with ANC and LDAC* 3. Good ANC(negotiable) 4. Earbuds released in 2025 are preferred (not mandatory) 5. Better than oppo enco air 3 pro Requesting these cause, i will only be majorly using the earbuds during gym and for the music, hence the 2 hour mark. Please suggest me. I can push to 7-8k max, if its really worth it. And heads up for the flipkart BBD and Amazon GIF

Im facing the exact situation with my oppo enco air 3 pro, looking for the next upgrade

My samsung phone has the LDAC available, and i have been using it on the oppo enco air 3 pro, but it DRAINS the battery, probably turn off in 30-35 mins. You can find the Codec in tge developer option on your phone. Or just search in settings bar for LDAC or LHDC

Went with CMF buds 2 plus for 3.3k

I have tried my friend's oneplus buds with his oneplus 13 phone. Since his phone had LHDC and other codecs supported for him, oneplus buds were the best. I wanted an LDAC earbuds buds, but the oneplus buds dont support them. So i started looking for others. Thats when i came across CMF buds 2 plus. Since I previously has oppo enco air 3 pro, no other earbuds under 5k was able to compete with it. Nothing ear(a) was okayish (consider nothing ear 2 or 3 if you have budget), Realme air 6 pro reviews were not great and soundpeats are generally new and never heard of in India. The CMF buds 2 pro was promising, but the CMF buds 2 plus was just recently launched (April 2025) and cost less than the CMF 2 pro. The thing that made me choose the CMF buds 2 plus was, the case functionality where u can change the volume and songs with the rotating button on the case itself, which was not there in the buds 2 plus (i didnt want that functionality tbh) and the 2 plus buds was releatively newer (2025). The sound pretty much sound the same, but the battery on the buds 2 plus is longer. So I went to my nearest croma store and bought it for 3.3k (which is higher lol). You can get under 3k online. Ig its better to buy the buds as the same brand as your phone. One plus - buds 3, buds 4, 2 pro, 3 pro Samsung - Galaxy buds or FE Realme - air 6, 6 pro, air 7, 7 pro Apple - airpods (worth it) Nothing - nothing ear a, 2, 3 Etc.

I bought a CMF Buds Plus 2 in India for about $35 (Rs. 2900) and I think they are stellar for the price point. They compare pretty favorably with my Sony WF XM 4 buds - more comfortable, better feature set/app and the sound quality is probably 95% as good as the Sony's.

Headphone (1) has a full parametric eq so you can really tune them to your listening preferences. Same with Ear products, I have ear(2) and ear 2024 and they are both really fine tuned for myself and they take to it really well. I have noticed their default tuning has a ton of sibliance though but you can eq most of that out

I got the Pro 2 recently. they are really nice. (Coming from Pixel Buds Pro 2 which were terrible)

It's apparently Amazon Prime day and they have some really good discounts on a lot of earbuds often recommended here. I'ma post the ones I found, you guys got any other good deals?
